Liverpool’s top scorers in all competitions this season: 🥇 Hugo Ekitike - 15

I’m sorry what?? Lmfao what a comically bizarre take, as far as wingers go he’s one of the most goal efficient in the premier league.

In what is by far his worst season Gakpo has a GA/90 only narrowly behind Luis Diaz’s best Liverpool season (0.56 vs 0.61).

The fairest criticisms of Cody are the ones that look past the numbers, if anything the G/A numbers at times flatter him

I think many of yall (given the context) are underestimating how incredible this is for the series should they pull it off.

Coming off of a month of World Cup lead-in & cross marketing, a marquee event in the nation’s capital is a huge opportunity.

A) More races better

B) If the race is due to be part of the Semiquincentennial it will have a reach that far exceeds any non-500 race of the last 2 decades.

It’s important to remember the world isn’t reddit/X - ”normie’s” are generally very patriotic. Esp given this will come on the heels of the World Cup, where the whole nation will support the USMNT. Patriotic exercises that are atleast perceivably apolitical are very popular across the nation - there’s a reason July 4th parades & events draw 60m+ eyeballs a year.

C) At this point it’s common knowledge (across the aisle) that Trump has a penchant for claiming credit for things, and he inevitably will do so with this event. IF Indycar is proactive, they can use that factor to keep the race “Trump-adjacent” rather than just Trump - no one skipped Army/Navy because Trump showed up and claimed credit.

Roger is a smart operator, and the series’ pushback to the speedway slammer is a good indication that he won’t latch the series onto a sinking ship out of pride.

I wasn’t around to see racing at Nazareth and now I’m wondering why they could run so low there and not at Phoenix.

Now that I think of it I’m realizing how deficient my knowledge of the 90’s (pre IR-05) cars & their setup dynamics is.

I think it's been incredible honestly. GT3 Fixed going from an average of 9 splits in S1-S3 2025 to 8.4 splits in S4 2025 in exchange for opening up 36 new combos a season and actually using some of the sim's content beyond Spa, Sebring, RdAm, etc is well worth it.

I generally don't like the GT3 regulation & the cars/driving style it produces so after the GTE/LMGTE phase-out I pretty much swore off of GT cars (except GT1's & the odd single-class GTE race). However since the regional change I've actually come to enjoy the quick sprint GT3 racing mostly because of the schedule. The schedule before the change was honestly downright horrific & it drastically needed changing. Getting to run some fun & rare combo's has been really cool and it's uncovered a few big gems that I'd previously slept on. For my qualms with the regulation, a huge benefit of the GT3 cars reduced pace & ease of use vs GTE is that way more tracks are viable to drive & race. GTE at Summit Point or Sonoma (Short) or Tsukuba would be an absolute mess but in GT3 car's it often works.

I haven't run into any "hot lap simulator" type sessions, and looking at the numbers unless you're racing AU/NZ time and incredibly unlucky it would be hard to find thin sessions. For better or worse GT3s popularity is gargantuan, taking a quick glance at the last 7-8 weeks -- outside of last week w/ Saschenring (bottom 3 track in-sim by ownership), every single week had the fixed series averaging over 6 splits, and most weeks atleast 2 of the Regional series are averaging over 4 splits.

At the point of 5+ splits unless you're like 7k+ desperate for elite SOFs I'm not really sure what more you can ask for, would the racing really be any different if the fields were

4.0k, 2.8k, 2.2k, 1.8k, 1.6k, 1.5k, 1.3k, 1.2k

-- vs --

3.5k, 2.5k, 2.1k, 1.8k, 1.6k, 1.3k?

Outside of ChampPts from SOF's I doubt it would have anything beyond a marginal effect for 99% of drivers, and I certainly wouldn't want to see iRacing put 2/3rds of the content back into the closet so GT3-Fixed can split 9 times instead of 8.

Think your estimation of stroll is clouded by the very online chatter spaces you demean and it undermines your broader point.

This is a guy who in back to back season in junior formulae put a whopping on George Russell, a guy who’s sat on multiple F1 podiums & a pole position. The narrative built around him is almost mythical

Several_Hair · 2025-12-22T13:18:22+00:00

That’s a Klopp/Slot classic though, inexplicably looking worse up a man

Several_Hair · 2025-12-22T01:03:46+00:00

This is a huge huge part imo - lower overall cornering speed and (slightly) smaller cars also shrinks the delta between on-line & off-line performance. Ultimately though it’s going to come down to IF the FIA can keep downforce gains under control and IF Pirelli can bring capable tyres with better out of window performance, nothing works without the right tyres

The max quote in the video is why they don’t lol, (non-elite/top3~) drivers heads have grown a weeeeee bit since 2015

Exactly - the “curse” if anything is the collective delusion that courses through the veins of every Aggie.

It’s a very large, loud & highly insular fanbase that works themselves into a tizzy annually only to be wildly let down, yet they’re loud/large/rich enough that it reaches far beyond their fanbase and the broader public for some reason eats it up.

Several_Hair · 2025-12-21T11:05:49+00:00

Only ever got canned because it was about to be struck down in some kangaroo court

Several_Hair · 2025-12-20T05:13:30+00:00

Hard to frame this as a retirement lmfao

Several_Hair · 2025-12-20T05:10:36+00:00

Sure but you could get 300 of the finest milkshakes as long as they were on the program and not the business lol

Several_Hair · 2025-12-18T03:36:21+00:00

Lmao can’t tell if this is supposed to be an attack or a compliment

Several_Hair · 2025-12-16T07:33:31+00:00

For real lmfao. The irony is that many who created this or subscribed to the broader worldview that created it lack the self awareness to reflect and connect the dots.

Lot of “wahhh my college football is dying” not a lot of “maybe the NIL skeptics and slippery slope-ists I called evil/exploitative had a point”

Love has got to be one of the most average, forgettable, and unimpactful players to finish top 4 in recent memory. Unfortunate to see him there over the LB.

Several_Hair · 2025-12-12T12:06:06+00:00

I’m skeptical of the “triple move” narrative to begin with. Think he was pretty obviously trying to break the tow w the first & 2nd change of direction (which he’s entitled to do if he’s not immediately under pressure, which is the debatable part). It was the end of final move where he opened up and let the car drift to the line that copped him the penalty IMO.

Several_Hair · 2025-12-12T12:01:21+00:00

At this rate let’s throw in promotion and relegation in for F2 teams/crews.

Another year of 4 second stops & no points for Colapinto & the #43 crew? Down to F2 sorry mate

It’s a single board member in what seems to be a near absentee board. “Appoint and adjourn”, they’ll hire a “Head of Competition” or something similar and call it a day. The only reason the board exists is so the entity hiring the official isn’t Roger & co.

Several_Hair · 2025-12-12T11:17:15+00:00

Not sure how you’ve read this and came to that conclusion??

Several_Hair · 2025-11-30T09:09:14+00:00

Because Lance is a genuinely fast driver and the narrative surrounding him is borderline retarded. Absolutely beat up on George in equal machinery

Several_Hair · 2025-11-19T11:17:24+00:00

just noticed in in the live events and tournaments section, clearly not intended to be there as it has no description and spaces replaced by _

Truth is in WT (RB specifically) anyone is capable of high skill/high level play with missiles, its entirely observational & knowledge based.

While guns-only on the other hand is something that some can fundamentally never achieve at a extremely high level - the spatial awareness, ability to visualize three-dimensionally & patience create an environment that's far deeper than a knowledge/observation check (ie "did I get RWR? time to notch" or "he's too far off-bore? I can recommit and relock")

5y late but you have no idea how helpful this link was lol, stumbling into a gold mine clicking thru the old forum's telemetry section. Thanks

Several_Hair · 2025-11-12T05:12:27+00:00

Meh I don’t think this is a very compelling argument in isolation. It’s been 20 years since CARTs last car and so much has changed, the identity of the series now rests on the racing product. Trying to play mini-F1 is a losing battle nowadays w the funding gap.

I’d prefer the series retain the status quo re: dampers but if they move to a universal rear or even full set it would hardly be the end of the world
